Andrew Morton reveals his plans for Linux 2.6.21

,----[ Quote ]
| Following the release of Linux Version 2.6.20 a few days ago
| the development phase of the next kernel version has now taken
| off. Whereas Linus Torvalds during the last few days has
| already integrated some 800 patches into his developer
| kernel that will lead to 2.6.21, Andrew Morton has now
| informed the kernel developers about his plans for
| the next kernel version.
